We've seen what Ernst Stavro Blofeld looks like in the movies, but what does he look like in the novels? I have heard that in the novels he is a chameleon-type character, but what does he physically look like when he's not disguised? What does his true unaltered appearance look like?

Lengthy physical description of him in Thunderball. Read Thunderball.

[DAN LIGHTER]

There are quite a few different drawings of Bond Baddies in 'Ian Fleming's James Bond: Annotations and Chronologies for Ian Fleming's Bond Stories'

Not sure how Blofeld measures up against the description Jim mentioned, so will have a check and get back to you.

Awesome! Thank you so much!

[DAN LIGHTER]

I think the page Jim refers to in Thunderball is page 60.

There is a picture by George Almond which is quite spot on. Basically Blofeld didnt look that strange, apart from the missing ear lobs. I would scan it in and show you but copyright and all that.

I think since the FYEO incident, he looks like a spot of cigar ash.

[DAN LIGHTER]

So we now have the answer. Quite normal looking but just didnt have any ear lobs and later he looked like a spot of cigar ash.

This is what I pulled off Wiki, isn't much of an in depth analysis, alas but anyway..

"Blofeld is described physically as a massive man, once a bodybuilder but having gone to fat. He has violet-scented breath from chewing capsules."


Hope this helps.

Here is a below link to the book I was gobbing off about. See page 355 for Mr Blofeld drawing.

Still don't quite get why no-one's looking at the books. They're not obscure.

Twenty stone, followed by syphilis, followed by samaurai.

Once knew a girl like that.

See page 355 for Mr Blofeld drawing.

Hm. There only seems to be 256 pages.

[Jim]

Given that there's not much book reading going on, this would hardly matter, would it?

Thunderball's a book.

[DAN LIGHTER]

Did you press view all?

[Twine29]

Thanks for your help everyone! I really appreciate it!

I agree, Thunderball is definatly a book. I am looking at it now.

[Twine29]

He definitely does not look like the way I imagined him in my head! He kinda reminds me of... Wayne Newton!

[Major Tallon]

To make it more specific, it's Thunderball, Chapter Five; OHMSS, Chapter Eleven; and YOLT, Chapter Eighteen.

If, by some chance, you find yourself straying beyond these limited chapters and reading the books through, I can promise that you won't regret it.

So... something like this?

In that one Dan Lighter linked to

TB Blofeld - pg 288 (reminds me a bit of Gert Frobe fused with Robbie Coltrane, tbh)
OHMSS Blofeld - pg 355 (no idea who to compare him to here)
And I'm afraid there isn't a sketch for ca. YOLT

Found the ca. YOLT sketch; if you type Dr. Shatterhand into the search function, the sketch is the first option available, and I daresay, it looks uncannily like Charles Gray...

Charles Gray before or after he becomes a she?

Actually, Charles Gray after he became a hippie and lost a tooth playing hockey.
